My grasp of history ain't too bad for a layman. Most of what I know, though, surprisingly comes from well researched historical 'fiction' (and follow-up research). In younger days, I found straight historical non-fiction daunting because there were too many gaps in my knowledge to fully place such information in world and time context. These days, though still a huge fan of historical fiction, I find non-fiction on specialised historical figures and events as gripping as a novel. Neil
